Kobi Moraz is a principal ALM architect who will discuss optimizing deployments and DevOps with TFS 2013. He will cover the gap between development and operations, the problems with production deployments currently, and how the new release management features in Visual Studio 2013 and TFS 2013 can help. Release management can automate deployments to different environments like development, test, and production to improve coordination, provisioning, and deployments across teams. It provides full traceability of releases and integrates with TFS to track work items and source code changes associated with each release.
